“What kind of society can sustain human dignity today?”

In a bold keynote, Bhikkhu Bodhi names the forces of moral nihilism and calls for a world grounded in solidarity and justice.

Read “Protecting Human Dignity”: buff.ly/02Pz6f4

Promotional graphic for Bhikkhu Bodhi’s article “Protecting Human Dignity from the Threat of Moral Nihilism.” A tree grows from water under a gray sky, bordered by a rough white paintbrush texture. Overlay text highlights the title, author, and quote: “Solidarity flows from a recognition of the essential unity of all people, the understanding that all human beings wish to be well, happy, and safe.”

Healing isn’t about holding it all together.
It’s about learning to stay present—even when things fall apart.

Somatic Experiencing® helps the nervous system settle, integrate, and reconnect—within ourselves and between others.

These birds can be found on Mike Wagner's rice farm in the Mississippi Delta. His farm welcomes migratory waterfowl, helping spur healthier fields & hardier harvests in return for a place for the birds to call home in winter. Can you name the species? 🐦
